951: Friendships in Your 30s and 40s: Loving, Losing, and Letting Be

I don’t know a single person in their 30s and 40s who doesn’t want deeper and more meaningful friendships. The last place I expected to get friendship advice was from Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory. Today, I want to share the unexpected ways this book shifted how I think about making, retaining, and even releasing friendships, especially in the complicated season of adulthood that is your 30s and 40s.

So, what is the ‘let them theory’ in relation to relationships? It’s all about relinquishing control instead of chasing, convincing, or over-managing relationships. It’s not about being cold or cutting people off, it’s about allowing people to be who they are without letting that affect your worth.
